Kallil was a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch in Chicago, but his childhood dream of being an entrepreneur was stronger than his passion for stocks and bonds, and he knew he had to follow his dream of starting his own business. After over a year of intensive research, he decided to open Design Design. Kallil says, “I’ve always been business-minded. The challenge of manufacturing something and selling it is very exciting. But the real attraction of the greeting card industry is the creative aspect of it–working with artists, copywriters, and printers on products that are always fresh and creatively diverse.”

During the first two years in business, Design Design worked hard for recognition in the highly competitive gift and stationery industry. Kallil often worked around the clock to keep his growing business on track. He recalls, “I have to admit, there were times I questioned the sanity of starting this company. I am thankful that my wife Jennifer was very understanding and supportive.”

Today, twenty years after he printed his first greeting card, Kallil is more motivated than ever. Kallil comments, “This business never gets stale. The market is constantly changing and providing new challenges and opportunities. We have some very big plans in store for Design Design.”
